This is the start of a wave of public strikes across the entire economy against the lawless and murderous US Administration. The people must withhold their labor from the government and the billionaires who suck on its teat.

OMFG. Read this and weep for our country and the man whose life is ruined. The Trump administration did this and now claims it can't be fixed. That's not good enough. All Americans should be losing their minds over this, even those who don't usually pay attention. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

History! Remember the crisis caused by the decision to station Pershing nuclear missiles in West Germany in the 1980s. Listen and heed a nation which now asks for such weapons as a guarantor of its defence.
⚡️ JD Vance says he would be 'shocked' if Trump agreed to station US nukes in Poland.

Polish President Andrzej Duda has said such a move would be justified given Russia has deployed tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.
